Episode 8: What is Cloud Computing? (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS)

In this episode, we break down the fundamental concept of cloud computing and explain the three main service models: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). We’ll dive into each model’s definition and discuss how AWS provides services that fit into these categories. Whether you're looking to understand how cloud computing differs from traditional IT infrastructure or simply need clarification on each model's role, this episode is designed to help you grasp these essential concepts.

We’ll also explore examples of AWS services that fall under each model, from Amazon EC2 (IaaS) to AWS Lambda (PaaS) and Amazon WorkSpaces (SaaS). Understanding these service models is crucial not only for the exam but also for making informed decisions when working with AWS in real-world scenarios. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of cloud computing and its service models.
